Nun aus dem Thema , was Sie wollen in DOTA Version 6,72 , war ich neben einem allgemeinen Erlaubnis, Änderungen senden Sie das oder vermuten lassen, ein IceFrog 27-2 gesendet am. IceFrog Feedback und die folgenden:

Dear Zenerik,

I am IceFrog, current developer of the custom map "DotA" on Warcraft 3: Frozen Throne. Why do I say this? Because I'd feel bad for being impolite and not introduce myself back when you have introduced yourself.

As the one responsible for developing DotA currently, I grealy value your input. In fact, I had run through the thread you mentioned, as well as several others with Google Translate, which help me to (vaguely) understand. It is great that you make such a compilation, because as I scroll through the forum, I could see opinions that, well, are terrible beyond comprehension. There are some that are very insightful as well, and it's nice that you make a compilation of the best, saving me the trouble. It really helps, my friend.

So let's skip to the main dishes while they are still hot; of course, the biggest concern will always be Heroes; after all, they are that what the players represent in the game.

I really like how you addressed the main issue in the game currently: the time frame in which a hero peaks is not balance, and they overlap too much between archetypes. This issue is currently being inspected by my Beta Tester Team. As part of the result, gold and exp gain rate are slightly affected.

As you pointed out, Barathrum is purely a single-target hero, whose team presence is no more than a 180 gold item. I partly agree, however, as you noticed, there are many others "single-target" hero as being used frequently. There are changes coming up for this hero, if I were to reveal something, I'd say the arrangement of his skill are being changed.

Zeus is another hero to be looked at. We are adding some special effects to his skills and run tests within the Beta Tester Team. If this yields good results, one of them might features in the next version. I really like what you proposed about Zeus, it is currently scheduled to be reviewed, soon.

Also I'm glad to say that Treant Protector, Nerubian Assassin, Shadow Demon and Guardian Wisp are making their way to Captain Mode very soon.

Sand King, vanished from the competitive scene. I'm currently researching something to invoke this ancient being on to the field of DotA once again.

I also takes interest in some of your suggestions as well, namely the Shadow Demon, Anti-Mage, Ursa, Lycan, Slardar ones. You seems to like Strength heroes, hence the interest and insight when giving opinions for them.

About items; I'm planning to tweak Bottle, it has been outperformed by many other items lately. One of them is to make Rune Usage Mode to close single targeting. It is in testing phase, but it proves to be useful while being not too overpowered.

Your suggestion about Dagon is also very possible, using an old trick to bring new content. I might consider it in the future.

I'm also inspecting on how to make Sange and Sange Yasha more reliable without breaking the game.

Also, you addressed many technical issues, also most of them are already fixed in the current beta, there are some I'm unawared, thus I greatly appreciated your effort. Are you a game developer too? Because you seem to think like one. People recognizes those with the same characteristics.

About DotA 2; I apologize, but I can't reveal anything at the moment. For whatever it's worth, all I can say is that DotA 2 is still being developed, it's doing quite well and was planned to be released later this year. And, it's not like I'm making DotA for nothing. DotA and DotA 2, there's more to it than you or most people would thought.

My turn; I would like to make a request: Be my representative in your community. You shall be my eyes and ears there which collect the best of your friends, like what you did in your email. There's no benefit in it, but I'd greatly appreciate if you do. I'm eagerly looking forward to your acceptance. Please reply as soon as possible, so we can have time to discuss this matter.

Your sincerely,
IceFrog
